About Sudhanshu Panda

Hey, glad to see you here, I am Sudhanshu, friends often address me by my last name :) I grew up in the hustle and bustle of Mumbai, but it was playing around with Cisco\'s Packet Tracer app that really sparked my interest in cybersecurity, knew right then that I wanted to jump into a mission of connecting everything securely and building a safer internet. Fast forward to my early 20s, I landed my first security gig. Got my hands dirty with all the network security tools - routers, switches, firewalls, proxies, load balancers you name it. Then shifted gears to security ops, diving deep into SIEM, IDS, IPS, XDRs, WAF the whole nine yards. Last year was a game-changer though. Packed my bags and headed to the States for my master\'s. I\'ve set my sights on cracking the code of cloud security, application security, and network security. The grind never stops! So yeah, that\'s me in a nutshell. If you ever want to talk shop about anything security-related, building products, or just shoot the breeze, hmu on LinkedIn. Cheers!
